Dominick Reyes is once again looking to the light heavyweight elite with the conviction that he can still aspire to the belt if he puts in a convincing performance in his next fight at UFC 327. The American fighter, who came close to winning the title in his fight against Jon Jones a few years ago, considers his experience in high-level fights to be one of his greatest strengths.
Reyes explained that in UFC the perception about a fighter can change quickly with a single major victory. According to the American, a dominant performance on a big card could put him back on the radar of the division's contenders.
The light heavyweight also pointed out that his track record within the organization shows that he can compete with the best in the category. Having shared the octagon with top-tier champions and contenders allows him to be confident that he still has the level needed to aspire to the top positions of the rankings again.
For Reyes, the immediate goal is to make an impact within the division again. In a category that has undergone several recent swings at the top of the rankings, the American believes a convincing win could reopen the door to a new race to the belt.
